BosToN, March IA heavily loaded pas
senger train on the Boston & Providence
railroad met with u terrible accident about
seven o'clock this morning between Roslyn-
dale and Forestville. The accident oc-
CURED on the Dedham branch of the
Boston & Providence railroad, at what is
known as Bussey Park bridge. The seven
O'Clock train to Dedham, consisting OF
seven cars and'a baggage car under charge
OF Conductor Tilden, broke through the
bridge. The engine and three cars went
over safely, but five others fell through the
bridge to the road beneath, a distance OF
thirty feet. The last car, which was the
smoker, TUNED completely over and struck
ON the top Of the others, all being crushed
out of shape. The cause OF the accident
was the breaking of the bridge.
The smoking Gag, after ii fell, caught fire,
but the fire department was promptly on
hand and prevented the spread OF the
flames. The bodies of the dead have all
been removed and of the wounded, some
are at the hospital, and some have been
taken homo, and so it is very difficult to OBJ
tain correctly the names and extent OF the
injuries at the present time.
